This doesn't seem to be too bad, but I think the app should be in c++, or an interpreter language, and not Fortran. Unfortunately I am getting ready for a conference and a grant meeting, so I may not be able to work much on this until later in the month.
Please let me know if you need it right away and I will see what I can do.

Hi.
I looked over the code that you posted. It contains ALLOCATE statements, so I think you can ignore LMHmedchem comments about array declarations, because that is the Fortran-77 way of doing things. Fortran-90 and later use modern techniques for dynamic storage.
My take is different from LMHmedchem's in that I think a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush -- so you have a Fortran code, you might as well use it, as opposed to writing something new in a different language.
I considered the possible problems from too many files being open, so I wrote two test codes. The first simply opens files associating with "unit=1", but never explicitly closing them. The second opens files concurrently, associating with unit=n, where n varies. Both read a value from the file and the second goes back to read the first data file to make sure that the first file is still open and accessible.
I tried these codes with 2000 data files. "data0011 - data2010". The data files have a unique integer number in them (basically the sequence), and then the negative of that (number+1). Both test programs worked as I expected, without error.
I do agree with LMHmedchem that "Most likely, you are exceeding the capacity of some data structure that stores the contents of the files ...".
I will demonstrate a technique for identifying such errors in a subsequent post ... cheers, drl

Hi.
I wrote the following code to demonstrate how ALLOCATE can obtain storage dynamically, but the array is still subject to being over-run:
This was run in the following context:
The results are part of the comments above. The first section shows that errors occur when the array is over-run sufficiently. However, if one enables bounds-checking, the error is caught immediately.
Regrettably, the AIX box to which I have access does not have a Fortran compiler that I could find. However, I think IBM almost certainly will have provided a means to check for such errors, so you'll need to do a bit of reading for that.
Adding the bounds check may degrade performance, but it's such a easy change to make to see if that is the error, that your time will be well-spent.
I have a Fortran program and I am writing out to logical unit 7. The program is reading from a text file and writing to the new file formatted. It gets through the read and writes some to the file but then stops with the following error:

Hi guys,
After compiling a .f90 code and executing it, i get strange characters in the output file like :
^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@
Are these windows characters? how can i get rid of this?
Much appreciated.

I have the code below and I want to remove the "go to" statements. Any idea how I can do it?
if (iorder == 0) then
tmincurrent = 1.0e11
if(ireverse == 0 .or. istop /= 1) then
do i = 1, 6
if ((side(i) /= sidelimit(i)) .and. (tminside(i) < tmincurrent)) then

Hi there,
I had run into some fortran code to modify. Obviously, it was written without thinking of high performance computing and not parallelized... Now I would like to make the code "on track" and parallel. After a whole afternoon thinking, I still cannot find where to start. Can any one... (3 Replies)

Hi, I have a very large, very old FORTRAN code that I work with. The code is quite messy and I was wondering if I can speed up execution time by finding subroutines that code execution spends the most time in. Is there any kind of software I can use to see where the code spends most of the... (1 Reply)
